It is a fact that his efforts in the New Zealand championships have seldom come up to the marks he has made in club competition during the season, but invariably his first putt at a national meeting has been so far ahead of the other competitors’ marks that he has not had to extend himself. His best putt in New Zealand is 46 ft. 0½ ins., made in 1922.
